French Back Stripping Dual Citizens’ Nationality in Terror Cases

A poll indicates French people overwhelmingly support a decision by French President Francois Hollande’s government to strip dual citizens of their French nationality in terrorism cases. He’s shown at the Elysee Palace in Paris, Dec. 23, 2015.

Plans to strip dual citizens of their French nationality in terrorism cases have strong popular support, a poll showed on Tuesday after the government said it would pursue the measure despite fierce left-wing criticism.

President Francois Hollande announced the plan after Islamist gunmen and suicide bombers killed 130 people in the November 13 attacks in Paris.
